A body is falling under gravity. When it loses a gravitational potential energy by $U$, its speed is $v$. The mass of the body shall be (a) $\frac{2 U}{v}$ (b) $\frac{U}{2 v}$ (c) $\frac{2 U}{v^{2}}$ (d) $\frac{U}{2 v^{2}}$
What is the escape velocity o the object, if the magnitude o $[$ the potential energy per unit mass of the object at the surface of earth is $E$ ?
